CORKSCREW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 495,386, dated April11, 1893. Application filedAugust 18, 1892. Serial No. 443,441. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT RICHARD WEISZ, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at of Kings and State of New York, have invented newand useful Improvements in Corkscrews, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to cork screws and the invention consists incertain novel features which are set forth in the followingspecification and claims and illustrated in the annexed drawings, inwhich Figure 1 is a side elevation of the cork screw about to beinserted and sectioned along 00 a; Fig. 2. Fig. 2, is a plan view ofFig. 1. Fig. 3, is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the cork screwinserted.

The bracket A is secured to a table orsupport B and said bracket has anopen cap or throat 0 against which is held the mouth of the bottle Dcontaining the cork E to be drawn. The bracket A carries a tube F inwhich can slide and rotate a rod G provided at one end with the corkscrew proper Hand at the other with a screw thread I. On the rod G isfirmly secured a head K provided with a notch L adapted for theengagement of a latch or dog M pivoted or jointed at N to the handle orcrank O. Said dog M is weighted or balanced so that when the parts arein the position shown in Fig. 1, said dog will fall into or engage notchL. The handle or lever 0 extends from a nut P tapped to engage the screwthread I.

When the cork screw proper H rests on a cork (Fig. 1) and the handle 0is properly rotated the dog M will cause the parts I G H to rotate sothat the part H enters the cork (Fig.

3) and when the dog M strikes the sleeve F said dog is moved out ofengagement with notch L. The rotation of handle 0 being continued whilethe parts I GH have stopped rotating the thread of nut P which continuesrotating with handle 0 will act on the screwthread I to raise the latterand draw the cork.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a bracket A carrying a bottle supporting cap 0and a tubular guide F, a rod G carrying a cork screwHand provided with ascrew thread I, and a nut P fitting the screw thread, of a handle 0secured to the nut, and a dog M carried by and movable back and forth onsaid handle for engagement with and disengagement from a part of thescrew threaded rod, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a bracket A carrying a bottle supporting cap 0and the tubular guide F of arod Gcarrying the corkscrew H and providedwith a screw thread I and a notched head K the nut P fitting this screwthread, the handle 0 secured to the nut and the dog M for engaging thenotched head K to throw the nut P automatically into gear with the rod Gsubstantially as described.

3. lhe combination with a bracket A carrying a bottle supporting cap 0and the tubular guide F, of a rod G carrying the cork screw H andprovided with a screw thread I the nut P fitting the screw thread, thehandle 0 secured to the nut and the dog M for rigidly connecting the nutwith the rod said dog being adapted to strike in its descent upon theguide F to be moved to the releasing position substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

ALBERT RICHARD WEISZ.
